Hi Krodi and
I wonder if they are just having a bit of transplant shock? Sometimes we will cut a stem when first planting a daylily - we lose the blooms (which might wither anyway) and allow the grassy leaves to soak up that sun and convert it to energy for growing and establishing roots. Then, the next stem is usually much more vibrant and productive.
Also, there may be factors that would help to understand might be happening - depending on where you live - a very hot summer, or mild one? Rainy or dry? Do you know your growing zone?
